It's true - I am a bisexual. But I can't deny that I've used that fact very well. I suppose it's the best thing that ever happened to me.

Trust nothing but your own experience.

I'm not sure that an art career would have any benefit for me; I'm not sure it's what I want. I don't think I want to be a designer-rock artist.

You can begin really looking for a relationship . . . when you can (appreciate) the whole concept of giving to someone, not just taking.

When you are an artist you can turn your hand to anything, in any style. Once you have the tools then all the artforms are the same in the end.

I probably also wanted to be black at that particular time [ 9 years old] as well.

David Bowie emerged as a rock star in the late '60s. And as Ken Tucker wrote, "In the face of the hippy era's sincerity, intimacy and generosity, Bowie presented irony, distance and self-absorption. His song 'Changes' announced the arrival of a new counterculture," unquote.
